From Saudi Arabia "Wonder Land"

Sometimes -or shall i say most times- you really feel like you are in a Sc-fi movie or a giant wonderland when you read news from our land , Saudi Arabia. 

Here are two new and lovely news :)

Two men fought, one of them attacked the other with a cleaver causing the second man to be paralyze. 

The attacker spent some seven month in a prison. That was two years ago. Now a smart judge want to sentence the attacker , in a civil lawsuit, by issuing in a tit-for-tat punishment by having the attacker's spinal cord cut. 

The judge even sent to some hospitals asking if that procedure is possible. Some hospitals said that the procedure is not possible . One hospital said that it is actually possible procedure !!! . 

You have to wonder if these doctors who supposed to be studying the same human body all went to medical school. I guess the better the education is shown here. 

Of course, if the victim agree to accept blood money, then the sentence will be dropped.  

 Let's be clear that judges in Saudi Arabia are not the best. " Personal experience" . so are not there enough ideas of how to punish this man but to cut his spinal cord ??. 

Btw, the victim -as reported by the Saudi news- said that the attacker should receive that punishment. So i guess no blood money is going to be paid here . Let's see if this lunatic judge will go on with his punishment. 

Amnesty international have urged Saudi Arabia to stop the punishment and called it "to nothing less than torture," .

I am all for the rights of the victim and punishment for the attackers-any- but not this brutally. No Way. 

Of course, there is the chance that the ministry of justice will interfere which is the news today.  

And that leads us to the second news :)

At the beginning of the month of Ramadan, the King have issued a royal order that allows only the approved scholars to issue Fatwas.

In general, i don't agree with that order cuz we all know the kind of Fatwas those "approved scholars" will issue and how traditional their few towards everything are. The Fatwas are going to be more approved by what the main stream wants and what goes in favor of the ruling class. 

Yes, some Fatwas are so hilarious but some are eye opening and you wont believe that some things are allowed in Islam, it's like opening mysterious books of Islam, books we have never heard of,hidden and kept away for god knows why? . Such as "mingling between male and female", " music is not forbidden in Islam"..etc. Things we know "approved scholars" are not going to issue a fatwa in favor of any time soon. 

Yet, sometimes you feel like you need these restriction on fatwas thanks to the other lunatics who wants to keep the country way hidden in the past. Fatwas against "women working in cashier" which is new by the way , "killing people " for being different are on the rise. Which is kinda of surprise cuz it seems in our "wonderland" where fear control, nobody actually cares or afraid of what their fatwas might lead them to. Which is a gain a pattern in here, no one follows the rules or orders of a king or a principle even. One wonder if other things happening behind the scene or it's just we live in a jungle land.

Welcome to wonder land :)

10 Tips for a Happier Life

Love this tips and believe in them though i can not practice them all. 

How about you? what are your tips for a happier life ? 

Tips For A Happier Life:

1. Don’t worry.

Worry is the least productive of all human activities and thoughts.

2. Don’t let needless fears preoccupy your life.

Most of things we fear never happen!!!

3. Don’t hold grudges.

That is one of the biggest and most unnecessary weights we carry through our lives.

4. Take on one problem at a time.

It’s the only way to handle things anyway; one by one.

5. Don’t take your problems to bed with you.

They are bad and unhealthy companions for good natural sleep and rest.

6. Don’t take on the problems of other people.

They are better equipped to handle their own problems than you are.

7. Don’t live in the past.

It will always be there in your memories to enjoy. But don’t cling to it. Concentrate on what is happening right now in your life and you will be happy in the present and not just the past.

8. Be a good listener.

It is only when one listens that one gets and learns ideas different from ones own.

9. Do not let frustration ruin and rule your life.

Self pity more than anything interferes with positive actions with moving forward in our lives.

10. Count your blessings.

Don’t even forget the smallest blessings. As many small blessings add up to large ones
